Award-winning Saxophonist/Composer Ed Jones returns to the quartet format with which he first made his
name on the UK jazz scene over 30 years ago. This current line-up was formed in 2011 and initially inspired by
the music of Wayne Shorter this quartet has branched out to feature original new compositions from Jones
and bassist Riaan Vosloo with outstanding support from Ross Stanley on Piano and Tim Gilles on Drums. During
this time through many tours, the Quartet have formed a unique identity of powerfully driven fire music with
atmospheric improvised soundscapes drawing both from original compositions with arrangements and fresh
interpretations of the American songbook repertoire.

PRESS QUOTES
”A formidable saxophonist. Ed Jones may have hit his highest profile through his work with bands US3 and Incognito, but he’s an improviser to his fingertips, a player of forceful imagination, and one of the Uk’s most distinctive saxophonists.” John Fordham The Guardian.

​”The Vigorous, sometimes downright volcanic tenor sound of Ed Jones has long been one of the great live delights of British Jazz. His barnstorming ‘terrier with a rat’ approach raises the musics temperature whenever he solos“. Chris Parker, Jazzwise.

“One of the most fluent and forceful saxophonists in Europe” Jack Massarik Evening Standard

​”One of Europes most exciting and innovative bandleaders”-BBC Music Magazine

​“Risk taking arrangements and compositions, seriously engaging territory” Tom Barlow Jazz wise

​“Inventive, physical, full of life, on the edge and unmistakably of today” Chris May, All about Jazz

​“For Best gigs of 2016 twice this year – at the 606 with Killer Shrimp and a low-key pub gig – from someone with his ‘out’ image, the most imaginative and exciting evenings of song book and jazz standards I have heard in years. – Brian Blain LondonJazzNews.com
